According to John Mahama, the 16,000 nurses will be recruited in two batches as part of efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery, particularly in underserved communities.
Mahama disclosed that a first batch of 8,000 nurses will be recruited soon, followed by another 8,000.
Speaking at the launch of the Free Primary Healthcare Programme at the Ho Municipal Hospital on Thursday, July 16, President Mahama stated, “We are therefore providing clearance for the recruitment of 16,000 nurses in two batches. The first batch will be 8,000 nurses, followed by another 8,000, so that young people completing their training will not have to wait for long periods before being posted,” he said.
